The city centre is reached by skytrain from here, and the neighbourhood shows a side of the city that is far from the tourist crowds of the old centre.

The Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of the largest markets in Bangkok, is 3.9 km away and draws crowds at the weekend with clothes, food and crafts. Nearer the hotel, Wat Samian Nari, a temple, is 850 m away, and the Ratchayothin BTS station, on the Sukhumvit line, is 1.2 km away. The Museum of Contemporary Art, 2.1 km away, shows contemporary Thai and international art. Jim Thompson House, the teak home of the American who revived Thai silk, is 9.9 km away in the centre.

A good day could start at the Chatuchak Weekend Market in the morning, then continue by BTS skytrain into the centre to visit Jim Thompson House. After a day of sightseeing, the streets around the hotel offer a slower pace, with local food stalls and everyday shops. Travellers interested in royal history can continue to the Grand Palace in the historic old city.
